The West African Network for Peacebuilding, (WANEP-Ghana) has released its second quarter early warning brief with a call on government to consider the recent labour agitations as a national security threat.

WANEP-Ghana wants government to proactively respond to the concerns of organized labour to maintain the nation’s peace and stability.

This comes ahead of organized labour’s resolve to protest on Thursday over what is being described as unfavourable working conditions.

National Coordinator of WANEP-Ghana, Issac Bayor made the call in Tamale at a media briefing ahead of the release of the second quarter early warning brief.

Mr. Bayor said government must find possible solutions to the concerns of organized labour to curtail the various forms of labour unrest which is likely to degenerate into instability.

He however appealed to organized labour to exercise maximum restraint and dialogue with government to address their concerns in order to strengthen the nation’s social and political stability.
